In the feature/object tracking of eye-in-hand visual servoing, 2D motion estimation relying only on image plane feedback is easily affected by vision occlusion, blurring, or poor lighting. For the commonly-used template matching method, tracking performance greatly depends on the image quality. Fibe
In this letter, we present a new soft and flexible sensor which can reconstruct its surface shape in real time. A single-core optical fiber with fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) is capable of detecting sparse local strains at high bandwidth using wavelength-division multiplexing. The fiber was embedded i
Soft robots, owing to their elastomeric material, ensure safe interaction with their surroundings. These robot compliance properties inevitably impose a tradeoff against precise motion control, as to which conventional model-based methods were proposed to approximate the robot kinematics. However, t
In this letter, we present an intraoperative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)-guided robot for bilateral stereotactic procedures. Its compact design enables robot's operation within the constrained space of standard imaging head coil. magnetic resonance (MR) safe and high-performance hydraulic trans
